1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Multiple regulatory domains within the -100 region of the beta interferon (IFN-beta) promoter control the inducible response of the IFN gene to virus infection. In this study, we demonstrate that the formation of NF-kappa B-specific complexes on the positive regulatory domain II (PRDII) precedes the onset of detectable IFN-beta transcription in Sendai virus-infected cells. By using NF-kappa B subunit-specific antibodies, a temporal shift in the composition of NF-kappa B subunits in association with the PRDII domain is detected as a function of time after virus infection. Furthermore, a virus-induced degradation of I kappa B alpha (MAD3) protein is observed between 2 and 8 h after infection; at later times, de novo synthesis of I kappa B alpha restores I kappa B alpha to levels found in uninduced cells and correlates with the down regulation of IFN-beta transcription. In cotransfection experiments using various NF-kappa B subunit expression plasmids and two copies of PRDII/NF-kappa B linked to a chloramphenicol acetyltransferase reporter gene, we demonstrate that expression of p65, c-Rel, or p50 or combinations of p50-p65 and p65-c-Rel differentially stimulated PRDII-dependent transcription. Coexpression of I kappa B alpha completely abrogated p65-, c-Rel-, or p65-p50-induced gene activity. When the entire IFN-beta promoter (-281 to +19) was used in coexpression studies, synergistic stimulation of IFN-beta promoter activity was obtained when NF-kappa B subunits were coexpressed together with the IFN regulatory factor 1 (IRF-1) transcription factor. Overexpression of either I kappa B or the IRF-2 repressor was able to abrogate inducibility of the IFN-beta promoter. Thus, multiple regulatory events--including differential activation of DNA-binding NF-kappa B heterodimers, degradation of I kappa B alpha, synergistic interaction between IRF-1 and NF-kappa B, and decreased repression by I kappa B and IRF-2--are all required for the transcriptional activation of the IFN-beta promoter.
